Sow seeds 4 to 6 weeks before your frost-free transplant date if using 128 to 288-cell trays, or 6 to 8 weeks ahead if starting in larger seedling containers or plug trays. Apply a thin layer of vermiculite over seeds but do not fully cover them, as light promotes germination. Keep soil surface moist to help dissolve pelleted seed coatings. After germination, maintain average temperatures of 60 to 75°F (16 to 24°C). Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions before transplanting.
Transplant hardened-off seedlings into the garden or containers after your final spring frost date. Space plants 12 inches apart to allow the mounding habit to fill out properly. Ensure soil is warm and all frost danger has passed before moving plants outdoors.
The naturally mounding growth habit requires minimal pruning; however, deadheading spent flowers encourages fuller branching and extended blooming. Pinching back young seedlings before transplanting can create bushier plants with more flower buds.
